Digging into the design wall on eclipse day!
The wall was really getting stacked up !
So off comes the color bombs for retreat sewing.
I made enough for three small tops and the extra 1 1/2" strips
are nicely stored in designated drawers.
The next layer is a twin log cabin
that is waiting for a back and layering.
It can move over to the flimsy storage
rack with its twin!
That exposes the problem item,
the result of a squirrel one cold
weekend. It is a braid that got off
track when I neglected to focus on
the centerline!
I have a plan so I will
pack it up to work on it sometime soon!
The last two things on the design wall
are more log cabin and waffle blocks.
The waffle blocks are ongoing so no worries
there but this is not another year of log cabins.
The 8 blocks on the wall need to find a home .
brief foray into making a two sided quilt with
log cabins on the back.
Once I re-evaluated and found I already have 3 log cabin style in
my collection, they weren't needed. So they will either:
1- go onto a quilt back to make it larger or
2-get mixed in with the last log cabin block stack to make
a larger quilt.
Hope you safely enjoyed the solar eclipse over North
America!
Stay safe and keep those solar glasses on!

DeleteWow, lots of wonderful scrappy quilts happening here! I've been wanting to make a braid quilt, but a bit worried about getting it off track, I can see how that could happen. Good luck with the fix!
ReplyDeleteI will be digging into it right after the quilt show our guild is having! Who knew there was so much work to displaying some quilts!
DeleteLots of scrappy goodness happening on your design wall. Everything looks great. I really love that braid quilt. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings!

ReplyDeleteEclipse was fun here but more fun in Eastern Canada! Now I have a design wall
Deleteon top of the design wall! Always fun in the sewing room!
How fun to look at your layered design wall ;)) A lot of beautiful layers by the way! I love the strings blocks, and the chevrons. These log cabin blocks are going to make beautiful backings, or a new quilt. It's fun to have 3 log cabin quilts at home!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your amazing design wall with P&Q!
Thank you ! There is now another design wall on top for a workshop this week.
DeleteI couldn't take down the cheveron without having a solution for its problem!!
Looks like you got a lot of things organized and know what's next for each. Hope this week has been as productive.
ReplyDeleteHi Deb, some times it's good to see what's underneath the pile! Those are great. Congrats on your progress and thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks.
ReplyDeleteI've been raiding my ufo blocks to make placemats that my guild distributes. It's a win-win for me and the recipient.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful array of scrappy quilts, Deb. You've done well to tame your scraps it seems. I have gotten a couple of ideas for how to use mine. Happy Stitching from me!
